The Doctor Foster Visit #mb04
A quarter in the early light of dawn and checked in via Touchwiz. A new style Costa Bacon Roll and Youtube upload issues. Overdoing it on Cheese & Onion Rolls and Happy Pint Cans from Arbor. Pink Floyd in The Gloucester Brewery and I’m back. Happy #mb04.
Seeing Dr Foster #mb04 2020
Not raining, no frost and it started to get light on the M5 coming up. A relatively easy check in, in the Premier Inn and it was straight into Costa Coffee. The Bacon Rolls are now Baps but the Bacon is as good as ever. The bar in The Regal opens at 08:00 and it will be all downhill from there onwards.
20191109 #mb15 Day 03
It’s that where did it all go day. Frost, rain and a Spoons with an Orangery. I spent the afternoon in The Pursuit of Hoppiness where everyone seemed to be my age. A Chief spotted me in a Tesco Metro
An Orangery in the Rain
What a quality Spoons (The Imperial), not only having an Orangery but much Cask Ales. It rained after the frost and then I have power sockets in The Pursuit of Hoppines. I found Tabac too but I was there too early.
Best Get A T-Shirt
Both lenses in first time and iOs 13.2.2 installed on all. A Christmas Tree and a full of of nippers Chevalier Inn. I didn’t get the QR code however. A T-Shirt from The Beer Cellar, still without a cellar and the best covers in The Pursuit of Hoppiness.
20191107 #mb15 Day 01 Wrap
Contact lenses and parking apps were against me. Not keen on the rather dark and roadworks burdened M5 either. However, a 06:30 opening Costa in the centre of town and a compact City Centre won me back. Overfilled #CurryThursday and a bit of a find with The Beer Cellar. I can’t see the sea from my Premier Inn room and The Pursuit of Hoppiness is another Exeter winner.
In Pursuit of The Meeting Cellar
Day 01 of #mb15, Exeter, November 2019. Issues, many issues with Contact Lenses. A weatherly and unlit drive down. The joy of parking apps, however Costa Coffee, Bacon and Coffee. George’s Meeting House for #CurryThursday and then what a find, The Beer Cellar. Check in and off to The Pursuit of Hoppiness. All were winters and I already like Exeter.
20191005 #mb14 – Day 03
The final wrap of #mb14 2019. The Oktoberfest 2019 Beano. The highlights day by day. Day 01 Rhubarb Custard Milkshake IPA and in the spirit of cross platform integration, David Spark’s Apple Book The Guide to Markdown. And yes, I see the irony there. Day 02 was the Gloucester Brewery Oktoberfest 2019 German Hat. You gave got to get into spirit of these things. Day 03 introducing a CAMRA member to the joys of Untappd. And then it was over.
Reading meets Germany with Onions
Bacon Roll and Coffee, Obvs. Single Spoons with Lager. A Rugby Tank and a Dock Bridge up. Introduced a CAMRA member to Untappd. Finished (sort of) The German Ales and there was a fruit sour from Reading. Next year or Weymouth. The joy of choice. The joy of Beanoing.
A week of German Beers and a Hat
The Saturday Wrap for 04 October 2019. October really is Autumn, mist, lack of Motorway lights and Computer systems that don’t talk to each other. On the plus side The Gloucester Brewery’s Oktoberfest 2019 and a hat.
